If all else fails I might try that though. As to IDE, just the CDROM drive is IDE, the rest is SCSI.The Pioneer drive might be too new but I wonder if that would cause the SCSI error.
For anyone that missed it, this is the first error that flashes past : cb_open: failed SCSI 0 4 0 0 0 0 0, dka0.0.0.4.0That does mention the CDROM drive though, hmm, perhaps I should stick the Plextor back and get me some regular CDR's instead of DVD's ;) The system did also come with an old Debian distro, will try that too with the old drive.

I had to replace a failing CDROM drive with an old 2speed SCSI CDROM because of it. Some newer PWS's have USB.I had to build my kernels to force PIO on IDE disks. It worked after that but it wasn't super fast. I have a vague memory of plugging in an IDE adapter card in an attempt to get around this, but I don't recall the result. -Olaf.
